Growing Ginger from Rhizome Cuttings, Days 1-5

This video covers days 1-5 of a ginger rhizome sprouting experiment. A small, half-used ginger rhizome from a supermarket was chopped up into 6 pieces and treated under the same conditions to see if each piece could develop into an independent ginger plant.

This documentary miniseries contains scientific commentary and goes into the fine details and explanations behind what is being done to the ginger rhizome cuttings to maximize growth, without following the typical recommendations for growing this species (Zingiber officinale) to the letter, or even having read about said recommendations beforehand. This is my second gardening documentary ever in my rookie year of gardening, so pardon the rookie mistakes here and there; still, things don't go anywhere as badly as they did for my first miniseries, the one on honeydew. The essence of these gardening miniseries is that of experimentation...I try a lot of different things that other people don't, and sometimes that pays off. I encounter a lot of problems along the way and see visitors from the animal and fungi kingdoms of life in later episodes.
